Hello and welcome to Word of the Week!
If you’re new here, Word of the Week is a nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. You reflect back on the past week and sum it up in one word. Then share your word with us in a blog post, with as little or as much explanation as you like. It’s a fun and friendly linky, so please do be lovely and visit as many of the other blogs as you can and share with them your thoughts on their words and weeks. I do comment on every entry to the linky, and if you add the Word of the Week badge to your post to help spread the ‘word’, I also tweet them out.
My word of the week this week is:
A countdown to so many things! I hate feeling I’m wishing time away, but this week has been one of those weeks where I just couldn’t help but look forward. To what?
My girl breaking up from school today. We’ve a whole week together next week and I am really looking forward to it. We have very little planned so far, and I think a lazy break will be lovely. I’ve got as much bloggy stuff done as I could do this week so we can all relax together. There’s been something of a spanner in the works as I had a lot of work and revision planned in for today, my last day without the kids, but my son’s full of a horrible cold and running a high temperature so he’s off from nursery today. Last night saw me working away frantically, so all is OK and on track…ish!
Of course, it’s also a long weekend with the bank holiday, so I am looking forward to having the Husband at home with us on Monday.
My exam! Aaah! It’s next Friday, so the countdown is on until then, and with the the kids at home this coming week, I’ve been revising as much as possible and I’m pretty much calling it a day now. I don’t want to revise with the kids around – I doubt I even could!
The Husband’s 40th – yes, it’s nearly here! Two weeks today and we’ll be away for a long weekend together, so I’ve been preparing for that, from getting gifts to making plans, as I know it will be here in no time.
And finally? I can glimpse my own birthday on the horizon and I do love birthdays. Mine is a few days after the Husband’s and is always something that I look forward to. It’s nearly here!
What about you? What one word sums up your week best?
Please grab the badge, link up and share.
Linky opens at 6.30am Friday, to midnight on Sunday.
Ooh hope the little man gets better and you have a brill week together 🙂 you’ll nail that exam I’m sure and happy birthday to your hubby! Thanks for hosting xxp
Thank you! I think he’s on the up, fingers crossed. Here’s hoping! x
Exam aside, that’s lots of lovely things to be counting down towards. Hope you have a lovely half-term week and enjoy having Boo at home and that Little Man feels better very soon. Wishing you all the best of luck for your exam! Thank you for hosting #WotW 🙂
It really is, almost enough to make me overlook my exam! Thank you x
Wow lots going on and the timing of the exam in half term! Glad you are feeling on track with revision and so lovely that you have yours and your husbands birthdays to look forward to afterwards. What a lovely way to celebrate and relax in a couple of weeks! Xx
I cannot wait to be in celebration rather than revision mode! Thanks x
You are so organized. Sorry the boy’s not feeling good, but hats off to you for making up the time. Good luck in your exams and I hope you enjoy your half term. I know we’re all ready for some time off.
I have to be, keeps me sane! Thank you x
I’ve been the same this week cramming in as much work as I can before half term, my little girl is off for two weeks. Hope your little boy feels better for the weekend.
Good luck with your exam next week, sounds like you’ve got lots to look forward to in the next few weeks celebrating birthdays, I’m 40 next year and keep telling my hubby he needs to pull his socks up and organise something spectacular for it I’m given him plenty of notice. Have a lovely long weekend.
Ah, I’m 40 next year, too, so am already thinking through exciting plans! x
Lots of things for you to countdown to. We are on the countdown to our little break away to Blackpool and we can’t wait…3 more sleeps!
Hooray! Have a lovely time x
Lots of lovely things to look forward to! hope little man gets better soon x
Yes! Thanks very much x
Hi Jocelyn, just when you think you’re winning there’s that spanner, but at least you should be able to relax nicely next week. I hope your Husband has a fab 40th, sounds like you have one planned.
Thank you for hosting.
xx
Always a spanner! Thank you x
Oh I know what you mean about not wishing time away but yes, roll on the bank holiday and the half term!!. And if the weather stays as it is it’ll be a glorious week!
I really don’t know how you do it all and be cool and collected for your exam next week – you’re so super organised!!
It was an absolute pleasure meeting you at Blog Camp, really lovely & made my day
Enjoy half term and best of luck with the exams

I am organised, I like to be and need to be! We all have our things to juggle! So lovely meeting you, too 🙂
And I really hope your little man is feeling better soon

Thank you x
That’s a lot to look forward to, though maybe not the exam. Hope you have a good time next week with the children. X
It is, thanks! Thanks, you too x
We also have a flood of birthdays at this time of year, it’s nice!
It is nice, all good fun!
Isn’t terrible that you do wish time away when you are looking forward to something. Time goes fast enough on its own! It sounds like you have a lovely few weeks ahead. I wish you lost of luck with your exam x
It really does, it’d be nice to have it slow down! Thank you x
Aww! I hope your boy feels better soon! Have a fab half term!
Good luck with the exam x
Thanks very much! x
Nothing wrong with getting excited about future events especially if you need a break. So much to look forward and having a lazy weekend just spending together as a family is a great way to go X #wotw
I’m so looking forward to it all 🙂 x
Good luck with your exam – pretty sure you’ll smash it. Not linking today as I don’t think I’ll get a chance to comment, a shame but my wotw is multifarious (so a shame I’m not linking) 🙂 xx
